Award-winning Book "This Is How We Heal from Painful Childhoods: A Practical Guide for Healing Past Intergenerational Stress and Trauma"

Did your childhood feel like something you survived instead of enjoyed?
Painful childhoods naturally results in many sticky obstacles to adult success, ranging from distrust in others to self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors. During prolonged periods of chronic family stress (intergenerational trauma), a young brain creates deeply ingrained physical and mental habits to survive childhood.

Unfortunately, these habits work against generational trauma survivors in adulthood and can even result in diagnoses like depression, bipolar, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). These perfectly normal reactions to childhood stress do not automatically go away when you grow up! Healing childhood trauma is challenging but possible.

This guidebook presents 20 key concepts for comprehensively thriving past your stressful childhood. Each chapter explains a key concept before offering realistic trauma workbook exercises that show you how to heal childhood trauma and ultimately thrive. Most trauma recovery workbooks focus on 4-5 of these issues in depth but leave out other important concepts!

Author Ernest Ellender, PhD has worked directly with childhood trauma survivors since 1995. He combined his clinical psychology doctorate with his martial arts career (black belt jiu-jitsu instructor) to create this comprehensive and effective book about healing from childhood trauma.
